#10. "I'll Remember You" (Song Prompt “I'll Remember You” Kui Lee)
In a cemetery years later, an old man stood under a tree with a bouquet of red roses. He watched the service for a woman that was well loved by her children and grandchildren.
He looked at their faces and saw traces of the woman he once loved. She was a part of every one of them. Even in their moment of grief, she was there.
As the mourners walked past the coffin placing pink roses on it, the old man came forward. Everyone turned to look at him as he places the bouquet among the other flowers.
He turned and walked away quickly. He couldn’t bear to answer the questions they had on the tip of their tongues. He just wanted to disappear as quietly as he came.
One of the woman’s children looked at the red roses and pulled a card out that was tucked inside.
“My dearest Jackie,
I’ll remember you always.
Love Max”
A soft rain started to fall.
